Week long MTBing road trip

So last Saturday Amon and I drove back from Interbike only to get ready to turn around on Sunday and drive past Vegas again to start our trip. It was a great trip with no major plans besides that of riding a ton and relaxing. Sunday night we stayed in Mesquite so that we would be ready to go Monday morning to Gooseberry Mesa. Monday we got up and headed out to the Goose to ride and with some perfect weather it was a great time. We took lots of pics and videos and even ran into some other riders from the area. We even saw Tony Ellsworth out there leading a group ride.

After Goose we drove to Brian Head for a night of camping and a early morning ride of Dark Hallow. We woke to gun shots and quickly realized that it was hunting season. In fact some hunters got a large deer just a few hundred feet from our camp site. Ahh exciting. We ended up riding to the peak at 11,307ft then we dropped into the Hallow. Such a great trail and with all of the leaves turning colors it was truly remakable!!! After ripping the Dark Hallow it was time for the road ride back up. Whew what a ride up it was on our 6" travel bikes! After some lunch and showers it was off to Thunder Mtn. Now that was a great trail and we had a blast as we just ran out of light. The pictures are so cool and the trail was a BLAST!!!

The next several days were spent rideing the best trails in Fruita. We even had a great place to stay and awesome guide with Guido! Thanks for all that you did! Fruita has some great riding and the people there are stoked to keep it going! It was a nice change of pace!!! After more great rides than I can remember it time to head back to St. George for anonther ride and head back home.

We rode the Green river valley trails there and man they were a ton of fun! We all had a blast and the trails were like a giant pumptrack! After some fun in St. George it was time to head back home and get back to work on the race series.

So until I get some pictures this will have to do. Hope all is well!!!
